Statue of Junípero Serra, Wooden statue in Carmel-by-the-Sea, United States
The statue stands as a representation of Father Junipero Serra, carved from oak wood by sculptor Jo Mora at the intersection of Serra Avenue.
The monument commemorates Father Junipero Serra, who established nine California missions between 1769 and 1784, including the Carmel Mission near this location.
The statue reflects Spanish colonial influence in California, depicting Serra wearing a traditional Franciscan robe while holding mission architectural plans.
Visitors can find the statue near the intersection of Camino Del Monte and Serra Avenue, within walking distance from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
The wooden sculpture maintains its natural oak color without protective coating, allowing the material to age naturally in the coastal environment.
